What You Can Expect

Cheers Friends, To Adventure!

Seattle’s only private cocktail cruise begins at the south tip of Lake Union — aka the South Lake Union neighborhood — where Seattle’s major industries have thrived. Climb aboard ‘Candere,’ led by Captain Dylan (who also serves as the resident bartender). See an impressive display of boats and floating homes, including the one from the movie ‘Sleepless in Seattle.’ Travel from Westlake to Portage Bay and the Montlake Cut, located at the easternmost section of the Lake Washington Ship Canal.

Enjoy a cocktail (the first round is included) and the scenic view of popular Seattle points of interest like the iconic Space Needle, Seattle Great Wheel, the Fremont Bridge, Gas Works Park, the University of Washington, St. Mark’s Episcopal Cathedral and much more. On a clear day, notice the Olympic Mountains with majestic Mount Rainier rising over 14,000 feet in the distance.

Customer Reviews

We were very fortunate that Dylan was able to accommodate our last minute booking. We celebrated my mother-in-law's 60th birthday, and the whole evening was perfect! Dylan answered all of our questions and told great stories. Don't wait til the last minute, book now!

We had the most amazing tour of Lake Union, Lake Washington and listening Dylan tell us information about the area. His story of how he began his journey was quite interesting - I highly recommend this Cruise!!!!!!

This was the highlight of our 3 days in Seattle and we piled a lot of activities into those 3 days!. I have always wanted to see the floating homes pictured in Sleepness in Seattle and I was completely charmed. Our guide was Dillon and we were thrilled that this was indeed a private tour - just my husband and I. Dillon was so friendly and accommodating! He mixed excellent drinks. I would definitely recommend this tour and be sure to request Dillon.

Nice relaxing boat tour to see Seattle from a different perspective. Our captain was knowledgeable of the area and did a good job pointing things out. It was cool to see all the houseboats and the sea planes taking off from the water.
